The challenge of developing adaptive, responsive low-energy architecture requires new knowledge about the complex and dynamic interaction between envelope architecture, optimization between competing environmental performance metrics (light, heat and wind indices) and local climate variables. Advances in modeling the geometry of building envelopes and control technologies for adaptive buildings...

Prior to the pairing and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, telomeres attach to the nuclear envelope and form a transient cluster. However, the protein factors mediating meiotic telomere attachment to the nuclear envelope and the requirement of this attachment for homolog pairing and synapsis have not been determined in animals. Here we show that the inner nuclear memb...

Nucleocytoplasmic trafficking describes the process whereby molecules destined for the nucleoplasm or cytoplasm move across the nuclear envelope. This transport regulates transcription and translation by respective control of transnuclear movements of transcription factors and messenger RNA. Transport across the nuclear envelope occurs through large MDa pores embedded in the inner and outer nuc...

Hybrid unmanned aircraft, that combine hover capability with a wing for fast and efficient forward flight, have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Many different designs are proposed, but one of the most promising is the tailsitter concept. However, tailsitters are difficult to control across the entire flight envelope, which often includes stalled flight. Additionally, their wing su...

Numerous studies in the past years provided definite evidence that the nuclear envelope is much more than just a simple barrier. It rather constitutes a multifunctional platform combining structural and dynamic features to fulfill many fundamental functions such as chromatin organization, regulation of transcription, signaling, but also structural duties like maintaining general nuclear archite...

The paper presents a simplified conceptual model for energy demand calculations based on building envelope characteristics, thermal mass and local climate. It is network lumped analysis of the dynamic process. Characteristic parameters buildings are suggested; Driving temperature (DT), difference, (DTD), External Load Temperature (ELT), Thermal Resistance (TLR). Building Envelope Performance (B...

Abstract The research presented in this paper focuses on the development of a quasi-Linear Parameter Varying (qLPV) model for XV-15 tiltrotor aircraft. specific category qLPV modeling technique, known as stitching is employed to time-varying dynamics aircraft over entire flight envelope. In approach, discrete linear state-space models are interpolated through lookup tables function scheduling p...

While changes in cochlear frequency tuning are thought to play an important role in the perceptual difficulties of people with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), the possible role of temporal processing deficits remains less clear. Our knowledge of temporal envelope coding in the impaired cochlea is limited to two studies that examined auditory-nerve fiber responses to narrowband amplitude modu...
